Holiday Card Design

I was asked by someone in my company (CAS) to design a holiday card for one of the departments. They gave me a mockup someone did that was truly awful. This was a holiday card they wanted to send out to all of their subscribers and partners to say thank you around holiday time. In the past, they had done a patent design, so I took that idea and searched online for patents related to the holiday season.

PhotoShop Restoration Before & After Gallery

This is a series of Before and After pics from Image Restoration work that I have done over the years. When an image becomes a sepia color, it means it has aged, so when restoring images, I switch it back to the original B&W, unless the client desires the image to be Sepia toned. The Interface is a manual slider, so you can see and compare the before-and-after images.

Adjunct Professor @ OU

I taught this design class Fall Semester 2017 for the School of Visual Communication at Ohio University in Athens, OH. I had 11 undergraduates (mostly Freshman & Sophomores) in my class, who had never had a design class before, so their experience varied. I guided them through basic principles of design and gave them their first introduction to InDesign. Their projects included designing a tools guide for InDesign, 2 posters, a resume and a magazine cover and inside layout.

The Washington Post, NewsDesk

I’d been trying to move to the NewsDesk for a while, but they liked me in my position in NewsIT, so I kept getting overlooked. But when a friend was going on maternity leave for 6 months, I got an opportunity to fill in for her. I designed pages in the Nation and World section, Business, Inside A and Metro, including section fronts.
